Learning curve of students of the Bashkir state medical University in the educational process on endovideosimulators.

Abstract

The article presents a comparative analysis of the learning curve of 40 students of Bashkir State Medical University on the technique of intracorporeal suture on a box simulator developed at the Department of Surgical diseases and new technologies and the "LapSim" simulator. Students who had different levels of manual skills were divided into two groups: the first - trained on a "box simulator", the second - trained on a "LapSim"simulator. To assess the level of development of practical skills, indicators of time spent on performing manipulation (in minutes) and GOALS (Global Operational Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills) were used. To assess the level of development of practical skills, indicators of time spent on performing manipulation (in minutes) and GOALS scores (Global Operational Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills). During analysis of the results there is a significant reduction of the time of performing manipulation in groups with an increase of the experience of students (in the performance of the second and third attempts). Training on a box simulator subjectively turned out to be easier for students than on a virtual laparoscopy simulator "LapSim".
